3. Good endorsements by those who knows alot, glad to have them in the Hillary Corner.

Looking around democrat underground, I saw several posts about the Army generals endorsing Hillary, a post speculating on a possible joint endorsement by George Schultz and Henry Kissinger, another post about an endorsement by CIA head Mike Morell, and even a post about an endorsement by drag queen Ru Paul.

Why did I have to go off site to learn about this high profile endorsement?

I'm certain that there'$ another motive involved.

Ru Paul? Well, Donald Trump should just withdraw from the race!

That passel of endorsements looks like a poker hand: Full house, jacks over queen.

Generals hate unpredictability.  They think they know what they will get with Clinton...in which they are by and large mistaken, since she has been silent on what exactly she plans to do on Syria, Russian involvement there, Russia in general, Turkey/NATO issues, and a host of other things, with her track record of doing whatever she thinks is expedient.  Trump scares them because he represents risk of actually doing something outside their well-worn box.

I used to think of generals as nigh-mystical beings. Now? Not so much.

I just completed a project for an O7. It's basically a system to aggregate data from numerous other systems in which the MSCs can use to report to her after a training period.

What passed for a scope of work was a 1 page document of sentence fragments. My RFIs were 6 pages alone. I could have done the design session in 1 or 2 days but because I had to shuttle every question and answer through an O5 it took 6 months. I built the initial product and got a thumbs up but I was using BS data that I created myself since I lacked data from the systems of record. No matter how many times I bitched no tasking went to the G-Staff to shit me data. I was supposed to get a working group to help define the metrics. That never happened. To this day I still haven't built the dashboard because she won't define the metrics for Green-Amber-Red. And I have told her point-blank, "Ma'am, the gumballs will not change color until you tell me what constitutes good or bad."

It was one, giant uncoordinated mess that nobody wants but I have to go chasing after every suspense date. No leadership. No top cover. No effort to pool the resources at her disposal to accomplish the mission she directed.

And she's supposed to be able to push divisions around the map?

Sounds familiar.  Above one star, most of the ones I've dealt with think measurement is the same as leadership, but since the stars they work for think the same thing, they progress and impose ever-more time-consuming number exercises all the way down the chain.  A lot of that's driven by the rating system, which requires some quantitative way (Often irrelevant to actual results) to differentiate one or two from five or six very accomplished and capable subordinates...although 'Very accomplished' is often in terms of that same measurement paradigm, so what we're actually selecting for is highly risk-averse micromanagers.  The other thing about them is at the two-star level and up they mostly attach themselves to a Congresscritter since their future progression depends on having a Daddy in the Senate to make their confirmation a lock.
